Belgian COVID-19 Mortality, Excess Deaths, Number of Deaths per Million, and Infection Fatality Rates (9 March — 28 June 2020) | medRxiv
Background COVID-19 mortality and its relation to excess deaths, the number of Deaths Per Million (DPM), Infection Fatality Rates (IFRs) and Case Fatality Rates (CFRs) are constantly being reported and compared for a large number of countries globally. These measures may appear objective, however they should be interpreted with the necessary care. Objective Scrutiny of COVID-19 mortality in Belgium over the period 9 March – 28 June 2020 (Weeks 11–26), using the relation between COVID-19 mortality and excess death rates, the number of deaths per million, and infection fatality rates. Methods...

Three-quarters attack rate of SARS-CoV-2 in the Brazilian Amazon during a largely unmitigated epidemic | Science
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) incidence peaked in Manaus, Brazil, in May 2020 with a devastating toll on the city's inhabitants, leaving its health services shattered and cemeteries overwhelmed. Buss et al. collected data from blood donors from Manaus and São Paulo, noted when transmission began to fall, and estimated the final attack rates in October 2020 (see the Perspective by Sridhar and Gurdasani). Heterogeneities in immune protection, population structure, poverty, modes of public transport, and uneven adoption of nonpharmaceutical interventions mean tha...

Sliding SIR Model for Rt Estimation during COVID Pandemic
One of the main characteristics of an epidemic is the effective reproduction number (Rt), which indicates the number of people each infected individual will further infect at any given time. Being able to estimate Rt is an important task, because this number defines whether the epidemic is expected to grow (Rt>1), or will start declining (Rt
